Parovoy Chelovek 4

Enigmatic live project that took its origins in New Weird Russia scene of early 2010’s. Name "Паровой Человек" translates as "Steam Man".

“One can discuss what genre this project is and what it represents, but no matter how much we tried to learn it from the authors themselves, the answer has always been: "It's not a punk rock.”

Instead of focusing on specific songs or musical themes, the band took a free-jazz approach, what resulted in intense hours-long live sets. Some listeners described the performance as “full drum-n-bass show in a garage”.
